This is mostly a place for me to track things that need done with PE, but also I will inevitably make some sort of plugin for Plane Encyclopedia at some point...

Set up SFTP Access for Future Backups Process #1

Open JeffreyGaydos opened 8 months ago

JeffreyGaydos commented 8 months ago

This should be something we can do through cPanel. The big goal is to get this automated, but for now, let's see if we can manually create a backup. Contact Ed if you run into issues, he's done this before

Edit: Ed uses the cPanel UI to create backups, not SFTP access.

Before diving too deep into getting SFTP access, determine if a backup can be created using an SFTP download in the same way that cPanel does in the UI, this way if we need to restore, we hopefully don't need to "roll our own" restore process, we can just upload files in the cPanel UI.

Looks like cPanel "Home Directory" backups are a GZip of the entire server directory, with the form backup-bluehost.default.domain.me-M-D-YYYY.tar.gz\backup-bluehost.default.domain.me-M-D-YYYY.tar\.\{All the files here}

For "Database" backups, I'm really not sure where I would get this off of an SFTP, so it might just be best to automate this via Selenium unfortunately.

Looks like there's nothing of use in the "email forwarders" backups
